Having lived in TN for ~8x years, Chattanooga is by far the only place I'd want to live in Tennessee... beautiful area w/ tons of parks, close to Atlanta/Knoxville/PigeonForge/etc... provided you can get past the sales tax and ridiculous state government (and income tax if they finally passed it). Sorry, had to chime in, nice area!

Used to do some work there with Provident Life & Accident. Awesome town and an hour (or two or three or four depending on traffic) from Atlanta.
